Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

Chapter 143

“Do you want this?” The spirit of the Supreme Palace was extremely surprised; it did have this item, which was somewhat extraordinary.

However, it didn’t serve much purpose. Compared to the value of an Imperial Weapon, this broken token wasn’t even worthy to carry the shoes!

“Yes,” Jiang Chen nodded.

This token was no small matter. Compared to Emperor Weapons, this token was even more important. Even now, as it’s incomplete and seemingly useless, this token’s secrets would later be revealed.

It’s a key to unlocking the legacy of an Immortal King. There are two pieces of this token, and if combined, they would form a complete key. Once combined, the token would no longer be a piece of junk but a rare Immortal artifact.

Although it might not be as powerful as regular Immortal artifacts, it could still unleash formidable power, albeit requiring time to accumulate energy. Approximately every hundred years, it could unleash a strike with the might of a true Immortal.

In the novel’s later stages, an unparalleled genius in the Nine Heavens realm acquires the token, and eventually, in the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm, he obtains the other piece.

Upon combining them, he ascends dramatically, fighting his way to the Immortal Realm. He even meets Du Guyun later on, discussing this item during their conversation.

The Ancient Desolate Demon Realm had known about this item in the Supreme Palace but could not send a strong contender during the hall’s opening due to their geniuses being preoccupied.

Thus, they missed the opportunity. The realm intended to collect the tokens to break the seal of an ancient Emperor but couldn’t, due to the hall’s hidden powers and the Demon Emperor’s wariness. Over time, both tokens ended up in the hands of that genius.

Knowing this, Jiang Chen immediately chooses the token over anything else. The value of the token far exceeds that of Emperor Weapons.

Of course, at this stage, a Emperor Weapon would be more immediately useful, but Jiang Chen was confident he could obtain the other token piece, making his choice clear.

A faint light appeared, revealing a broken black token before Jiang Chen. It looked ordinary, like a common iron token, without any distinguishing features.

“Are you sure you want this? Once chosen, you can’t change your mind,” the Supreme Palace’s spirit confirmed again, emphasizing that once a choice is made, there’s no turning back.

“Yes!” Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate and responded immediately.

The spirit, somewhat speechlessly, handed the token to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen didn’t linger after receiving the token and began to leave.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s intent to leave, the spirit was at a loss for words. It had never encountered such a being before. Previous beings would bombard it with endless questions out of curiosity, but Jiang Chen simply took his prize and left. This was unexpected.

“Don’t you want to know the secrets of the universe?”

“No!” Jiang Chen left without looking back.

“Strange person!” Despite encountering many beings with odd temperaments, the spirit had never met anyone quite like Jiang Chen, who showed no interest in becoming an immortal. This was truly unprecedented.

Jiang Chen exited the space and was immediately transported to the bottom of the Trial Space, right at its lowest level.

“Brother Jiang Chen!” Upon seeing Jiang Chen return, Jing Muyu, who had finished her trials, immediately rushed towards him.

Jiang Chen caught her in his arms and asked, “How far did you get?”

“To the 30th floor. I really couldn’t push any further beyond that!” Jing Muyu answered honestly, her expression a bit downcast. Compared to others, her level wasn’t very high.

“Reaching such a level in the Soul Palace Realm is already very good! Look at her; she’s only in the Soul Passage Realm and also reached just over thirty floors!” Jiang Chen pointed at Qin Yao nearby, saying with a smile.

“Jiang Chen, I heard that!” Qin Yao suddenly turned around, teeth clenched in frustration. Jiang Chen was truly annoying, always teasing her every time they met.

“Isn’t what I said the truth?” Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

“No!” Qin Yao’s face turned red, like a volcano ready to erupt.

Although it was the truth, it didn’t need to be said out loud. However, the difference in their talents was indeed significant. Qin Yao had decent talent, but it paled in comparison to Jing Muyu’s Eternal Sword Body.

Given more time for cultivation, even at the same realm, Jing Muyu would definitely not be limited to the 30th floor.

Her early experiences also endowed her with an exceptionally resilient mind, something Qin Yao lacked as the pampered princess of the Great Qin Empire.

Though Jiang Chen had completed the trial, other geniuses were still undergoing theirs, and the trial wouldn’t end until all were eliminated, lasting for half a month.

Meaning, to receive their rewards, they had to stay in this place for half a month. Waiting was a bit annoying, so Jiang Chen decided to leave the Supreme Palace with Jing Muyu.

Upon exiting the Supreme Palace, the moment he stepped out, countless gazes landed on him like lasers, enough to paint him red if they were infrared. Jiang Chen, ignoring their stares, returned to the Primordial Holy Land’s flying ship with Jing Muyu.

“Well done!” The Grand Elder beamed, patting Jiang Chen on the shoulder.

Jiang Chen’s achievements made the Grand Elder extremely happy. His presence caused a stir, bringing honor to the Grand Elder by association. He enjoyed seeing others envious and jealous, much like a student acing an exam to the pride of their family.

“Primordial Holy Son, I heard breaking through the hundredth floor comes with a special reward! What did you choose?” asked a member of the Golden Crow race, unable to help themselves.

Suddenly, everyone’s attention shifted towards them, eager to know what Jiang Chen had chosen. The last person to choose a reward was tens or even hundreds of thousands of years ago, and no one knew what was selected, not even the people from that era.

“Guess!” Jiang Chen said, smiling.

Obviously, such matters weren’t supposed to be asked directly, and given the ill intent of the Golden Crow member, Jiang Chen didn’t show any courtesy. However, he couldn’t reveal the token. Announcing it might even earn him a scolding from his masters.

Jiang Chen planned to use the All-Heaven Mirror as a decoy, giving him a reason to introduce it publicly without having to explain further in the future.
